In the <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/312476?utm_source=HearstNewspapers&amp;utm_medium=related&amp;utm_campaign=syndication" rel="follow">franchising</a> world, food still reigns supreme. Almost a quarter of the 1,023 companies that applied for this year’s <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500/2018?utm_source=HearstNewspapers&amp;utm_medium=related&amp;utm_campaign=syndication" rel="follow">Franchise 500</a> were food-based franchises, and half of the companies that ranked in the top 10 were quick-service restaurants. Some of the oldest and largest franchises in the world are food-based, and new ones arrive on the scene every year, ready to capitalize on the latest <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/309423?utm_source=HearstNewspapers&amp;utm_medium=related&amp;utm_campaign=syndication" rel="follow">trends</a>, like build-your-own pizza and poke bowls.
That said, <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/308049?utm_source=HearstNewspapers&amp;utm_medium=related&amp;utm_campaign=syndication" rel="follow">food franchises</a> can be some of the most challenging to build -- with higher capital costs and more complicated operations than many other industries. But they can also be some of the most rewarding. They’re particularly popular with franchisees interested in multi-unit ownership. So, if you’ve got a taste for food-based franchises -- whether it’s one unit or 100 -- start with our list of the top 200. You’ll find them on the following pages, ranked within their respective categories (such as coffee, hamburgers&nbsp;and Mexican food).
These rankings are based on the score each company received when evaluated by our Franchise 500® formula, which considers more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength&nbsp;and financial strength and stability. But please understand, our list is not intended as a recommendation of any particular company. It’s vital that you do your own research to find the franchise that’s right for you (and that means more than just trying the food). Read the company’s legal documents, consult with an attorney and an accountant, and talk to existing and former franchisees.

<h3>Local entrepreneur brings Dickey’s Barbecue Pit to Las Vegas</h3>
Local Dickey’s Barbecue Pit franchisee, Ed Ciampa, plans to open his first Dickey’s location in Meadows Mall in Las Vegas this Summer.
Though he is new to the Dickey’s family, Ed has over 30 years of franchising experience that he brings to the brand.
“At Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, we pride ourselves on serving each and every guest authentic, Texas-style barbecue,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “With new franchisees such as Ed that have extensive franchising experience, we can continue to grow our brand and more importantly continue serving our guests delicious barbecue.”
“After deciding to take on a new restaurant concept, I knew barbecue was the perfect fit for my area because we have so few barbecue options in Las Vegas,” says Ed. “From there, Dickey’s was the easy answer, they have a great product, great franchisee support and are well known brand across the nation.”

Franchisees Stephen and Heidi Bernier are opening their first Dickey's&nbsp;Barbecue Pit this fall in Parker, Colorado, according to a company press release.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
In my daily life as an East Coast journalist, pretty much all I eat is lentils, salad, and lentil salads. The thing is, I recently returned to my homeland, Texas, for a reporting trip. Before you ask, hipster, I’m not from Austin, or even Houston. I’m from the gosh-dang suburbs of Dallas, where lentils and salads are less plentiful, and beef and cheese are ... more so.
Midway through it, I traveled to the small town of Wichita Falls, in central Texas, where my stomach microbes were further exposed to things they’ve never witnessed in their precious, coddled, organic Washington, D.C., lives. I’m talking ice cream that isn’t Halo Top and tap water from a La Quinta bathroom.
I have returned with, for now, a brief travelogue of things I ate. I had limited time, limited cash, and limited options. Some of my stops were quintessentially Texas; others were maybe a standard deviation more Texas than the average fast-food meal, yet might be accessible in your impersonal, master-planned suburban home. But they were all delicious, and I’m not dead, so I can only assume the same experience would hold for you.
I say this not as a health reporter, but as a friend: Here is what you should eat if you ever find yourself in North-Central Texas.
&nbsp;Flying out of Dallas Love Field, the world’s best airport—Stop by Dickey’s Barbecue for some beef brisket (not pork, this isn’t North Carolina). They will give you a beer, but you have to drink it right there in front of them. (not walk all around the airport with it, this isn’t Europe).&nbsp;

Four states will soon have new Dickey's Texas-Style Barbecue thanks to recent franchising deals made by the chain, beginning in Green Valley Ranch, Colorado, where franchisee Eric Williams brings his first location of the brand this summer.
The U.S. Army veteran has always wanted to own his own establishment and will put his military discipline to good use in the trade when he opens the store in the coming months.&nbsp;
"I have always wanted to own my own restaurant and now seemed like the perfect time and Dickey's was the perfect fit because they allowed me to thrive off my entrepreneurial spirit," he said in a news release.&nbsp;
Also joining the Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchisee fold is Krage Fox, who will bring four new Dickey's locations to southwest Michigan, beginning in Kalamazoo this summer, followed by locations in neighboring cities.
"The dedication and excitement Krage and his business partner have shown is something that truly inspires all of us at Dickey's," said&nbsp;Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants Inc. "We are proud to have these two bring so much passion to the brand and we look forward to the opening of their Kalamazoo location and the others that will follow."

Meanwhile, new Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchisees, Lawrence and Debby West and their business partner, Debbie Hudson, plan to open their first Dickey's location in Rolla, Missouri this summer as well.&nbsp;
Lastly, local Dickey's Barbecue Pit franchisee, Ed Ciampa, plans to open his first location of the chain in Meadows Mall in Las Vegas this summer, bringing 30 years of franchising experience to the brand.&nbsp;
The Boston native has made Vegas home for the last 12 years and thought it was time to supplement the barbecue offerings in the city with a new Dickey's location.&nbsp;
The chain has now expanded to more than 550 locations in 45 states and was in the Top 10 in this year's Fast Casual Top 100 Movers and Shakers, after winning the annual awards top spot two years ago.&nbsp;

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, the first Dickey’s location in Rolla, plans to open their doors this summer with slow-smoked meat cooked on site.
The authentic Texas-style barbecue will be available for the community at an expected date of Monday, June 18, according to owner of Larson Construction, Jim Larson, who is the contractor for the business located at 1040 Kingshighway.
The restaurant will be open Monday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and offers Brisket Mac Tacos, Beef Brisket Classic Sandwiches, cookies, pies and Jalapeño Cheddar Kielbasas, to name a few items on the diverse menu.
What is the secret to success for the locally owned business?
The franchise is family owned by Debby West, along with business partner, Debbie Hudson. The restaurant will offer a warm and open ambience, along with hometown values at their restaurant -- treating each customer as family is the end goal.
“The three will be on site every day to connect with the community while offering free food for children on Sundays and treating every customer as a V.I.P,” stated Larson, who is excited for the mouthwatering Beef Brisket offered on the menu that the Rolla community will be able to dig in to.
What to look forward too?
Free ice cream every single day, and children eat free every Sunday. The family-owned and operated restaurant included Debby West and Hudson completing weeks of training at Dickey’s Barbecue Pit headquarters where they both learned the art of creating slow-smoked, tangy barbecue. The two are bringing their distinct knowledge of smoked barbecue to the community.

A pair of partners are planning to open four new barbecue restaurants in the region.
Krage Fox, of Kalamazoo, and a business partner whose name was not disclosed recently became franchisees of Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, a restaurant chain based in Dallas.
The partners&nbsp;plan to open their first location in Kalamazoo this summer, followed by three other locations in undisclosed “neighboring cities.”
Fox owns another business in Kalamazoo, Commercial Window Coverings, and said he has always had a passion for barbecue and dreamed of opening a restaurant.
“When researching franchises, it all came down to loving the business model and the quality of the food,” Fox said. “Dickey’s offered everything we were looking for in a franchise concept, including delicious food, a proven business model, support for franchisees and an established brand.”
Fox’s business partner has experience in the restaurant industry and also has “a passion” for Texas-style barbecue.
“The dedication and excitement Krage and his business partner have shown is something that truly inspires all of us at Dickey’s,” said Laura Rea Dickey, CEO, Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants.
Dickey’s
Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants was founded in 1941 by Travis Dickey.

&nbsp;
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit franchisee, Krage Fox, plans to bring four new Dickey’s locations to Southwest Michigan. New to the Dickey’s Barbecue Pit family, Krage plans to open his first Dickey’s location in Kalamazoo, MI in Summer 2018 with other locations opening in neighboring cities.
“The dedication and excitement Krage and his business partner have shown is something that truly inspires all of us at Dickey’s,” says Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. “We are proud to have these two bring so much passion to the brand and we look forward to the opening of their Kalamazoo location and the others that will follow.”
Krage is new to the restaurant industry with a background in the pharmaceutical field. He has a passion for barbecue and has always had a dream of opening his own restaurant. An entrepreneur at heart, Krage researched multiple franchising concepts before deciding that Dickey’s was the perfect fit.
“When researching franchises, it all came down to loving the business model and the quality of the food,” says Krage. “Dickey’s offered everything we were looking for in a franchise concept including delicious food, a proven business model, support for franchisees and an established brand.”
Krage’s business partner has experience in the restaurant industry and too has a passion for Texas-style barbecue. He believes that barbecue is the last southern food that still needs to be mainstreamed and Dickey’s provided them the best opportunity to capitalize on these ventures.
